However, in the interests of safety, before using your trailer it is most important that you familairize yourself with the operation of the trailer.

3 If there are any questions about the operation instructions please contact your dealer. Also for servecing and selling from accessories please contact your dealer. For more information you can fill in the formulaire at our website Please note It is possible that the pictures in this operation instructions are not the same than the delivered trailer. When we are talking about left, right, for and behind, we mean that you are standing behind the trailer. 2 Safety Precautions, Operation, Servecing and Cleaning (general) Trailer (general) No welding is permitted on the hot galvalised parts. Other materials (like aluminium and cables) could be infuence, hereby there is a change on lasting damaging or remodelling.

4 There is a permit allowing the trailer to be used on roads in your country. This means that the vehicle has been formally offered to the inspection authority in your country for approval when your trailer was manufactured in our factory. No modifications of any kind (for example different lighting, wheel rims/tyres or coupling or the addition of an accessory not provided when the vehicle leaves our factory, and due to which the mass and dimensions may change), may be made. Maintenance and cleaning of hot-dip galvanised parts of the vehicle: The formation of white rust is only a cosmetic fault. The following measures may be taken to avoid this to the extent possible: Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation when parking and in connection with the storage of hot-dip galvanised components.

5 After driving in winter, the hot-dip galvanised surfaces may be cleaned with clean water in connection with salt/brine (for example using steam jets). For the safety instructions, operation, maintenance and cleaning of trailer component, please refer to items further discussed below, which apply to your trailer. Check whether driving with the trailer is officially allowed. Can the towing vehicle drive with the trailer, and does your driving licence permit you to drive the combination? Ensure conformity with the applicable laws relating to what the load may or may not consist of (such as hazardous substances and passengers). Fabrikant Hersteller Manufacturer Fabrikant: ANSSEMS AANHANGWAGENS versie : GT-2 3 Coupling Head Safety Precautions: Always ensure that the coupling head is properly connected to the towing vehiclis towball every time you couple up.

6 If not coupled up correctly the trailer may become detachted from the towing vehicle and cause an accident! Maximum possible articulation of the coupling head must not exceed +/- 25 vertically and +/- 20 horizontally. If exceeded, components will be overloaded and the operation of the assembly adversely affected. Operation: Operation of couplings of the brand AL-KO and type AK7 on unbraked trailers and AK75 / AK160 / AK300 / AK 350 on braked trailers: Articulation: Maintain articulation angle at +/- 25 (vertically Fig. 1) Maintain articulation angle at +/-20 horizontally (Fig. 1) Caution: If the articulation angle is exceed, components will be overloaded. The function si no longer ensured!

7 Coupling Up ( AK 7): Push the safety lever (afb. 4/1) up with the index finger and lift the handle up and forwards. Put the openen coupling onto the towball with the handle pulled up and in addition press down by hand. The coupling will close by applying a light pressure. Press the handle down by hand untill the catch (Fig. 4/3) snaps out. The coupling head is correctly engaged when the green edge of the visual indicator is visible (Fig. 4/2) Caution: It is most important to check that the coupling head is properly engaged on the towball each time. Coupling Up (AK75 / AK160 / AK 300 / AK 350): Open coupling head. To do this pull the coupling handle up (Fig. 2/1) in the direction of the arrow.

8 The coupling mechanism had fixed open position, as long ad the coupling head is not placed on the ball the coupling handle will remain open. Put the open coupling on the ball of the towing vehicle. The nose load on the coupling head automatically and audibly clics into position. In the interests of safety press the handle down by hand as well (Fig. 2/1). Locking and securing takes place automatically. The coupling ball is correctly connected when the green cylinder of the safety indicator is visible when the trailer coupling is viewed from the side (Fig. 2/2). The coupling mechanism is correctly engaged when the coupling handle can no longer be pressed down by hand. Caution: When the coupling head is not correctly hitched onto the towball then the trailer can become disconnected from the towing vehicle.

9 Uncoupling: Lift coupling handle fully and remove the coupling head from the towball of the towing vehicle. Where there are higher nose loads, coupling and uncoupling can be made easier bu use of the jockey wheel. Wear indicator (AK 7): If the handle reaches back to the cutaway portion of the housing when the coupling head is engaged (Fig. 5) there wil be play between the towball and the coupling head! Automatic readjustment is no longer possible and the assembly will require inspection. Caution: Under these circumstances the coupling head can become detached from the coupling ball and the trailer break away from the towing vehicle. The coupling head and towball must therefore be checked immediately before future use.

10 Any faulty patrs must be charnged immediately. All mainenace work is to be carried out by specialist workshops. Servicing and Cleaning: Lubricationg points (Fig. 6) Clean towball coupling. Lightly grease, or oil ball socket, jonts and bearing points as appropriate. General purpose grease to DIN 51825 KTA 3K. Troubleshooting Fault Cause Elimination Coupling does not engage when placed on ball. Ball diameter grater than 50 mm. Inner parts of the coupling are dirty or are not funtioning correctly. Change ball Clean and grease coupling, replace as neccesarry. Trailer cannot be uncoupled Ball deformed. Align trailer and car and uncouple. Grease/lubricate coupling mechanism.
